Bruises

The boys of bunkhouse five are a tumultuous group of teenagers, constantly at odds with each other and all struggling for survival in their own world of adolescence. Falco has been assigned leader of the group, a challenging role for him as he tries, at all costs, to avoid conflict. Falco never wanted to go on camp as his home life is much more deserving of his attention. Falco’s older brother is dying of a terminal illness and the time has come for Falco’s parents to place him in a home. How can Falco concentrate on the duties of being a bunkhouse leader when his brother needs him so much more?
